The Arlington National Cemetery is rubbed by information about its website and educational materials on the history of members of black and women.
Part of the content unpublished by the site was veterans who had received the highest military recognition in the nation, a medal of honor, according to Task & Porects of the military news.
The removal of content is part of President Donald Trump's more efforts to eliminate the practices of diversity, justice and inclusion (DEI) in the military and throughout the federal government.
Approximately 400,000 veterans are buried in the cemetery, ruled by the army, which was created after the US Civil War at the South General's home, Robert E. Lee.
On the website of the cemetery, the internal links that directed users to web pages with information about the “remarkable graves” of dozens of black, Spanish and female veterans were missing on Friday.
The pages contained short biographies of veterans such as Gen. Colin L Powell, the first black chairman of the joint headquarters, which is the highest rank in the military after the president.
They also told the life stories of members of the flyers in Tuskji, the first black military flyers in the country.
Earlier this year, the Ministry of Defense had to restore the study materials for the revered flyers after a national protest for their removal after Trump's orders for DEI.
Information about Hector Santa Anna, a World War II bombers and a career military leader, which is called the hero of war, has also been overthrown.
Visitors to the site can also have problems finding information as links to the main sections have disappeared. It no longer lists pages for Afro -American history, Spanish American history and women's history.
Content still exists for some remarkable women buried there, including the former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and 14 veterans of the unit recently presented in the film nominated for Oscar The Six Triple Eight, but is only from direct demand.
After re -entering the White House, President Donald Trump has signed numerous executive orders prohibiting DEI in the federal government.
A spokesman for the cemetery said in a statement that he works to restore connections and content and remains “committed to sharing the stories of military service and victim of the nation,” according to The Washington Post.
He added that he wanted to ensure that the contents brought in accordance with Trump's orders, as well as with instructions by the Minister of Defense Pete Heget.
Representative Adam Smith, the best Democrat in the House of Armed Forces Committee, has condemned the removal of content.
“The whole thing is deeply concerned,” Smith said in an interview with The New York Times.
“Even if you have concerns about how Day has been processed in a number of different places, I have never seen a problem in the military.”
Trump made dramatic changes to the military in his second term, including the dismissal of the best general in the country, CQ Brown, a black man who supported diversity in the armed forces.
Secretary Heget – a former Fox News presenter and a military veteran – promised to eradicate all the initiatives for diversity and accused Gen Brown of being “awakened”.
There are 2.03 million people who serve in the US military on duty or reserves, with 30% identifying themselves as part of a minority group such as blacks or Indians and 18% as Spanish or Latin American, according to the Ministry of Defense's latest report. One fifth of those in the military are women.
